I just found out my helper friend housekeeper's mother is expected to pass within the next day or two and that sucks for me because I am really shitty at empathy.

I believe I just proved my point. I never know what to say, everything sounds stupid and fake. I was not a hugger pre-covid now I would rather open a kissing booth at a trump rally.

Hopefully she will just want to get drunk. That I can do.

@Crystal_Fish_Caves to the loved one: I'm sorry for your loss. How can I help you?
@Crystal_Fish_Caves No one knows what to say. I think we all feel the same as you. Just being there, even silent, means something. Sticking around is harder and I've discovered that in life, the hardest choice is the right one. Best wishes.
